A GOOD CAUSE....and a good RESOURCE

Did you know that WACOM has a site that is geared towards DIGISCRAPPING???

It's a great site and there are TONS of resources and tutorials!!They are always having contests and giveaways....be sure to check them out... Below you will find information on their latest contests.....

During the month of October, the Wacom Pen Scrappers website is sponsoring a special contest called “Season of Hope” commemorating everyone whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. Lori Barnhurst designed this beautiful kit in remembrance of her grandmother, who battled breast cancer most of her adult life, and died about 10 years ago from complications from a relapse.

Wacom will be making a donation to the Oregon and SW Washington affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure to honor each person who enters the Season of Hope contest. The Grand Prize winner will also take home a big prize package including: a Bamboo Craft, and special gifts from Shutterfly, Jessica Sprague, Scrap Orchard, Anna Aspnes, iStock and more! And there’s more: everyone who enters this contest will receive a very special 16x20” poster collage from Shutterfly.

Enter the Season of Hope contest http://www.penscrappers.com/ I know that this is posted on the main page of our blog, our store, and our site....But it's a really good way to support BREAST CANCER AWARENESS....I want to make sure that the word gets out.....

As part of Wacom's charitable giving effort this year, we have partnered with the Oregon and SW Washington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. We're excited to involve our customers by making a donation for every Bamboo Craft sold in North America from now until December 25th, 2010. A percentage of proceeds from every unit will be donated to support the Susan G. Komen organization in their effort to create "a world without breast cancer."

Speed Scrap coming up!!!!

What kind of a scrapper are you? Can you scrap with SPEED?

Never attended a Speed Scrap?

No worries- this is really fun, and easy.

Just listen to the 7 steps given in 60 minutes,

gather your items during that time,

and then, scrap it, upload it into the gallery and forum!

Whallah! you are now a Speed Scrapper!!

There will be prizes- so don't miss it!

Hop on the blog train

We are proud to announce our first blog train. We choose Think Pink as our theme. October, being Cancer Awareness month, was our inspiration. Seventeen designers of Scraps with a Mouse have designed mini kits or brag pages. All in the same color scheme. So after visiting all these blogs (see list below) you will end up with a huge kit with papers and elements that you can mix and match.

So how does it works... well, you get on the train when you go to the first station/blog (@jacquies). On that blog you will find the download link. Click on it and that part of the kit will start downloading. After that you will see which station to go next to. This great journey ends on the last blog (ElaineTherese). If something happens in between, you can always come back here to visit the next blog (just in case something is not working properly).

And it's all free. It's a way of giving back to this great community.

Here is a slideshow in which you can see what you will get:

And here are the stations AKA blogs. Be sure to visit them all. And have fun with them. We would love to see your layouts created with our kits. So off you go... and have fun.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, WACOM Time!!!

***THE SECRET IS OUT***
THE GRAND PRIZE IS A WACOM BAMBOO CRAFT

WACOM has generously agreed to be the sponsor of our BIG CHEESE SCRAP OFF!!!
So to thank them for their generosity, all that enter this contest will be required to blog about the contest.
We will also have special banners for you to sport in order to qualify for this contest!!!

The Big Cheese Scrap Off
We are now taking sign ups for this contest!
Please sign up in our Contest forum with your first name, your user name and blog address.
This contest begins on Friday, October 15, and ends on Saturday, October 30
with the Grand prize winner and Top 5 winners announced on Sunday, October 31.
So, why the name “Big Cheese”??

“The Big Cheese” is listed in John Camden Hotten's The Slang Dictionary, 1863 as:
"Anything good, first-rate in quality, genuine, and pleasant "
These are all attributes of a great scrapper!
We at Scraps With A Mouse strive for quality designs and creations, while not taking
ourselves so seriously that we miss the opportunity to be genuine
and maintain a pleasant environment here at the site!
